It is one chilly, fall-like morning out there! It’s in the upper 60s in here. It was that way yesterday morning too, but by 1:30 it crept up to the 80s and we had to put the cooler on. It was only in the 70s yesterday, today will be in the 80s, then for the next 4 days, we’ll be in the 90s like I like it.

Yesterday morning we went to Walmart.

Today Tom’s going to try to fix one of the tires that got a small puncture in it, and cut his hair in anticipation of the job interviews I hope to hell he gets! Better yet, I hope he gets hired and outa that damn warehouse he’s in now before they cut him back to part-time or go out of business altogether which is only inevitable!

We didn’t yet get a Barbie lot posted on eBay because Tom got his schedule messed up, though quite unlike myself, he can get it back where it needs to be in just a day.

Tom had an idea to make the bigger cage more escape-proof. He’s going to try weaving copper tubing through the bars at some point if the guy ever gets time. We still have to haul shit to the dump, but we figured we’d wait till he got a new job.

Even though I had a whole bag of Jelly Belly beans yesterday, I woke up at 141 for the third time. I’m sure it was only for 5 minutes, though!

Being the 1st, I’m swamped with tons of new sweeps, most of which are crappy or too much work, but need to be gone through nonetheless. I just hope I get more, if not as many, emails congratulating me on my own wins as I do other people’s wins.

Later…

Sure enough, it’s now 80º in here. I was enjoying the peaceful outdoors and walking briskly with my iPod while Tom fixed the tire. As he figured was the case, it was a nail. It took him a while to find it and get it out, but he did.

He called up to Jesse to let him know the rent was in the box. Now all I have to do is just hope we can pay October’s rent!

Tom pulled the portable heater from the shed, which I wish I’d had in the wee hours of the night when it was in the 60s in here.
